Chapter 150 Princess Shaoyang
Shen Ruhai and Old Man Shen quickly adjusted their mentality. The Shen family had a new aide, that is, the Juren Li Xuanfeng.
Tang Ren and his friends were not surprised to hear that Li Xuanfeng had become Shen Ruhai's aide. They also felt that it would be more practical for Li Xuanfeng to follow Shen Ruhai than to take part in the imperial examination again.
After all, not everyone can pass the imperial examination and not everyone is lucky enough to meet a master like Shen Ruhai.
Shen Ruhai and Old Man Shen went to the Hanlin Academy to serve, Shen Mingshu also went to study at the Imperial College, and several classmates from Wanxianzhou also went to take the civil service examination.
Shen Mingzhu practiced calligraphy for a while, felt bored, and entered the space.
As soon as she entered the space, she found Wang Mang sitting in her garden waiting for her.
Wang Mang was sitting on the swing. When he saw Shen Mingzhu coming in, he ran over happily.
"Zhuzhu, you haven't been in the space for a few days. What are you doing outside?"
"Did your father and his family pass the exam? The results should have been announced by now, and they should have held a grand banquet, right?"
Shen Mingzhu raised her little face and said with a smile: "My father passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, and my grandfather passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi."
"Wow! Zhuzhu, your father is so amazing, isn't he? He got the top three places in the imperial examination? This is the first in the Daqian Dynasty!"
Wang Mang truly admired Shen Ruhai, and Shen Mingzhu was also very happy.
She opened the door with Wang Mang and entered the living room. Wang Mang said:
"Zhuzhu, what kind of flowers are in your garden? They are so beautiful. Also, what is the pond in your front yard for?"
"Those are roses, peonies, and some other varieties. If you like, I can grow some seedlings for you sometime."
"Are you talking about a swimming pool? It's for swimming! You can also build a swimming pool in your front yard and swim in it when you have time to exercise."
Wang Mang nodded and agreed. Shen Mingzhu asked Wang Mang, "Do you want to go out and play?"
Wang Mang: "Can I go out from your side and go to the capital?"
Shen Mingzhu: "It should be possible."
So, Shen Mingzhu took Wang Mang out of the space. Shen Mingzhu left a note for her family and went shopping in the capital with Wang Mang.
Wang Mang saw the prosperous capital again and sighed: "The capital is still bustling!"
Shen Mingzhu: "Then you come back to live here?"
Wang Mang: "Forget it. If I return to the capital, I will not only be imprisoned in the palace, but also face many assassination attempts. I don't want to die."
Shen Mingzhu nodded in understanding. Wang Mang took Shen Mingzhu to a restaurant:
"Zhuzhu, the food here is delicious."
Wang Mang took Shen Mingzhu to the second floor of the restaurant. Wang Mang ordered many dishes that Shen Mingzhu liked. Shen Mingzhu asked in surprise:
"How do you know I like these dishes?"
Wang Mang's face was filled with smiles: "That's because I have been observing you carefully!"
Shen Mingzhu was speechless, "Why are you observing me?"
Wang Mang: "Nothing, I just want to observe your preferences."
Wang Mang himself didn't know why, but he wanted to know everything about Shen Mingzhu and wanted to be good to her.
They both couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and started eating with relish.
The two were enjoying their meal when they heard a shocked voice from a woman in the private room next to them:
"Princess, is that true? Mr. Shen already has a wife and several children. Do you want to be his stepmother?"
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, her body trembled, and she used her clairvoyance to penetrate the wall and see what was happening next door.
In the next private room, two women in gorgeous clothes were chatting. The woman in yellow who had just spoken looked in disbelief at the woman in gorgeous clothes opposite her, who had her hair full of pearls and jade.
The woman who was dressed elegantly and dazzlingly said with disdain:
"So what if she has a wife? She's just a country bumpkin. When I come into your house, if I'm in a good mood, I'll make her my concubine. If I'm not in a good mood, I'll make her and her bastards get out of here.
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, her heart sank. This woman was really arrogant. She even dared to attract her father's attention.
She was guessing the identities of the two women when she heard the woman in yellow say:
"That's right. Princess, you are the daughter of Prince Zhuang, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Pang, and the Princess of Shaoyang personally appointed by His Majesty. If Shen Zhuangyuan is smart, he will quickly divorce that old witch and happily welcome the princess into the family."
After hearing this, Shen Mingzhu finally understood that Princess Shaoyang of Prince Zhuang's Mansion wanted to be her stepmother!
Haha, if you want to be her stepmother, it depends on whether Shen Mingzhu is willing!
Shen Mingzhu had a gloomy face and was just about to think of a way to teach Princess Shaoyang a lesson, when suddenly it occurred to her that, if that was the case, could she let the princess test her father?
Shen Mingzhu had seen too much in her previous life and always believed that there was no man who was not unfaithful, so she withdrew her hand and wanted to see if her father was really so loyal to her mother.
Wang Mang saw that Shen Mingzhu was unhappy, so he asked Mingzhu, "What's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, Wang Mang was so good to her and gave her so many treasures, should she also get some photographic memory potion and clairvoyance and hearing pills for Wang Mang?
Wang Mang didn't know what Shen Mingzhu was thinking, so he asked Shen Mingzhu:
"Zhuzhu, has your father been assigned an official position? Do you want me to go to my grandparents' house to ask them to help with your father's assignment?"
Although Wang Mang was only in his teens, he was no longer as naive as an ordinary child.
He was born into a royal family and understood many things. He knew that Shen Mingzhu's family had no backing in the court and was afraid that Shen Mingzhu's father would suffer a great loss in the issue of assigning officials.
For the royal family, it doesn’t matter even if the emperor becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination. After all, the whole world belongs to the royal family, and a word from the emperor can change the fate of the people below.
In the past, there were also top scholars who were demoted to serve as county magistrates in barren mountainous areas, so Wang Mang asked this question.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "My grandfather and father both entered the Hanlin Academy. My father was an editor and my grandfather was a reviewer."
"That's great! Father actually values your family so much?"
Wang Mang was very happy for Shen Mingzhu. As long as Mingzhu's father worked hard and held a higher official position, Mingzhu would become better off.
Princess Shaoyang and the daughter of Marquis Fenyang had just walked to the door when suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and hit them directly on the head.
Princess Shaoyang and Meng Yuran, the daughter of Marquis Fenyang, were startled and then they smelled a strong burnt smell.
Princess Shaoyang touched her head and found that her originally beautiful hair was all burnt. The princess felt the burnt black on her head, stretched out her hand to take a look, and was so frightened that she screamed "Ah!" and fainted.
Meng Yuran was also frightened. When she saw the appearance of Princess Shaoyang and touched her head, she fainted from fright.
The maid behind them was frightened and panicked. She supported the two of them and called for help.
People were coming and going in front of the restaurant, and many of them saw Princess Shaoyang and Meng Yuran being struck by lightning and were stunned with fear.
"What happened? It was a sunny day and it wasn't raining, so why did it suddenly thunder?"
"No, why did the thunderbolt strike directly at Princess Shaoyang and Miss Meng? Did they do something that angered the heavens and the people?"
Shen Mingzhu listened to the noise outside and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
If you dare to set your sights on her father, you will have to bear the wrath of Shen Mingzhu.
We won’t kill them now, but it’s still good to collect some interest.
